After
delivering
the
smash-hit
Heyy
Babyy,
Sajid
Khan
announced
that
his
next
directorial
venture
Housefull
would
star
Akshay
Kumar,
Riteish
Deshmukh
and
Deepika
Padukone
besides
two
more
leading
ladies.
Soon
the
super-sexy
Jiah
Khan
was
also
added
to
the
star-cast
and
a
hunt
for
the
third
and
final
leading
lady
was
on.
A
lot
of
names
of
top
Bollywood
beauties
such
as
Genelia
D'Souza,
Vidya
Balan
etc.
did
the
rounds
but
now
after
months
of
speculation
by
the
media
and
industry-wallahs
of
who
the
third
heroine
of
Housefull
could
be,
we
are
finally
going
to
reveal
the
suspense.
The
lady
in
question
is
none
other
than
Lara
Dutta.
Yes,
it's
official,
Lara
has
been
signed
for
Housefull
and
when
we
contacted
director
Sajid
Khan,
he
seemed
a
little
surprised
at
how
we
managed
to
get
the
news
but
nevertheless
confirmed
the
same.
Now
with
an
ensemble
cast
of
Akshay
Kumar,
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Deepika
Padukone,
Lara
Dutta
and
Jiah
Khan,
expect
the
Housefull
boards
when
this
film
hits
the
screens
later
this
year.
